Be what you want to BE

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by

Have you ever tried mirror image stamping?? I had not ... until I made this card for the So Suzy Stamp Mirror Image event. I can see this will be a technique I will use more in the future... You definitely need a good silhouette stamp or solid image for this to work well.

I first took my sun stencil and made my background. I blended out the inks to make a more vibrant look using Tiki Torch and Orange Twist from Catherine Pooler.

I then held my breath and had Justine Hovey's YouTube video playing while I gave it a try. Believe it or not, this was my first try. After I did it, I said geez.. why didn't I practice on a scrap piece of paper first. Anyways, thank goodness it turned out great the first try.

I love this technique and I'm so glad So Suzy Stamps hosted the challenge. I love to try to things and this will be one I keep in my think tank.
